Jagadish Chandra Bose - Indian who changed the world

Jagadish Chandra Bose, (30 November 1858 – 23 November 1937) also named as the father of Radio Science was an outstanding Indian polymath: a physicist, biologist, botanist, archaeologist, as well as an early writer of science fiction.

He pioneered the investigation of radio and microwave optics, thereby making very significant contributions to plant science, and laid the foundations of experimental science not only in India but across the world.

He was the first person from the Indian continent to receive a US patent, in 1904.
